Review of Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuar...

Over all, good experience but, I made the mistake ...

Over all, good experience but, I made the mistake of coming with higher expectations. DO NOT come expecting the San Diego, Houston, or even the Audubon Zoo... This is a small rescue zoo, it is what it is. Throughout the day, my creative side distracted me with ideas that would have made the experience more appealing but, I won't go into that here. The peacocks roaming around were a hit. For the most part, the animals seemed happy, as well as the staff. Very friendly. To me that is more important than the sub-par food and lack of amenities/activities. I do recommend going early in the morning for a better chance at seeing the animals, especially during the hot Texas summer months. Will return to bring my kiddos someday soon for the experience.
